PSA: teammates
When a person does a non-standard build - do not assume it is troll or bad and flame them. Builds are flexible - just like champions. Some are better suited to one purpose while others to a different purpose. If there were no ap champs on the enemy team, would you flame malphite for not building spiriit visage/abyssal mask or some other mr item? No. So don't presume to know it all.
It's not your teammates' job(s) to shore up weaknesses you create by locking in some odd champ. Just because someone is toplane or jg doesn't mean they should have to be the sole frontline champ for your team. And if they are, then it's not their fault if you are losing fights because you all die in 1.5 sec to start the fight; it's your fault for not winning lane and snowballing with the comp you picked that NEEDS to build a lead early. If you fed and deal 0 meaningful damage to the enemy frontline, it's not your toplaner's fault - it's yours. If he builds damage - because you have none - you have no right to flame him for doing so.
If you just lost a teamfight, do not force another engage the second you respawn - the exception being to defend your base. Give up dragon or baron and don't go running into your jungle blind as 4 squishies all separate from each other facechecking everything. Doing so and then dying can cost the game. If you do that though, again, it isn't your toplaner's fault for going top to clear a large minion wave to protect top inhib tower and to ward baron so you can contest. If he pinged you back and you still engaged 3v5 or 4v5 cuz you NEEDED that dragon, it's on you for dying. He didn't lose you that fight - him coming would have just given the other team an ace. Instead of flaming him, try listening and making better decisions next time.
If you criticize a teammate and blame them for everything, don't be surprised if they eventually snap back at you. So their build is non-standard - who cares if it's getting the job done. And if it's not, is it because of THEM or because their team isn't doing their job? Chances are, if the guy is tanking 3 people every teamfight and is still the last to die, it's the team's fault - not his. If you complain he never groups, yet he's there for every teamfight - you are being an idiot. He's not toxic for saying as much - considering you spent the last 20 min flaming his build, his kda (your's is worse btw and you weren't 1v2 all of laning phase vs an ignite riven and a sejuani), and complaining he never groups even though he's peeling the enemy adc, sup, and mid every fight. Instead of asking what more your toplaner can do for you; ask what you can do for your toplaner because he's done more for the team than anyone else.
Pardon the very specific nature of some of this, but the generals apply to all lanes and jungle. If your teammate is going even while being camped and you never once help him, don't blame him for poor kda. If your teammate builds a non-standard item that isn't obviously troll (like thornmail on jhin), don't criticize their items. You might provide helpful advice, like suggesting a player build maw since they are an ad champ vs a fed enemy kat; but you don't flame their build. If they are pulling away a fed enemy from the teamfight and giving you a 4v4 without the enemy's strongest champ, that's generally a good thing - don't complain that they aren't helping the team. If they are zoning 3 people every teamfight and are still the last one to die - it's not their fault you are losing; it's yours or your other teammates. So stop harassing them, improve YOUR play, and maybe listen to the the teammate you were harassing instead of making unhelpful comments to put them down all game.
